Good luck Guester.
A. There is no God and when we die, everyone diddling around with whatever beliefs they promote will cry because it's all been just a big waste of time... (focussing on other things instead of what's really important, like self... tsk tsk).
Everyone who diddled around with religion, and hopes for an afterlife would simply be
dead like everyone who focused on self - no one is going to be disappointed, because there's no entity to feel the feelings of disappointment.
If that's how it is, the only thing that matters is if you're happy here. It stands to reason that religious people are happy with their faith; otherwise they wouldn't do it, right? So, with choice A no one is disappointed in the end, because in the end there is no one to be disappointed.
Sure, if choice A is all there is, the non-religious people can argue that they had a better time having promiscuous sex with everything that has legs, and drinking their minds to oblivion. However, on the flip side you could also say that the religious people were the smart ones, the ones who purchased insurance.
So, who is it better to be? The man who believes there is an afterlife, and thus ensures in this life that he will be crossing over, or the man who says there is no God, and lives his life wild, free and stoned all the while flipping a coin...
